At the moment I'm going through LCMBM using CB Light. I feel like I'm
playing better and I understand more but I have a question: it's very simple
to include variations in the middle of a game but what about at the end of a
game? For example in Game 22 Marco-Pillsbury Black plays 21 ... fxg6 and
then Resigns. Now if I try and include a variation to show myself why Black
resigned (it was #7), CB Light 'thinks' it's a continuation of the game and
displays it as thought the game was played out. Is there any way of showing

21 ... fxg6
variations here
1-0

You can use Text After Move but is there a better way?

I don't know if it works with CBLight, as I haven't got it installed, but
in CB the procedure is: right click on the move and choose "insert
variation" Now CB will take back a move. Play the new variation and it
should pop up as a separate variation.

Thanks but...although the right click does Enter Variation I can't get it
*after the game has finished*

I've got
21 Bxg6 fxg6
1-0

R click only lets me do
21 Bxg6 variation here fxg6
1-0

instead of
21 Bxg6 fxg6
variation here
1-0
or here

afaics it won't let me enter an 'explanatory variation' as to why Black
resigned at this point

cheers

Are you sure you clicked on the right move? You should right click on fxg6,
_not_ on 21.Bxg6, thus inserting a variation for the move fxg6.


Here's a mock game. I entered it in CB, saved it as a draw after 22.f3

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d5 3.exd5 Bd6 4.Nc3 Nf6 5.d3 h6 6.g3 0-0 7.Bg2 Nbd7 8.0-0 Nb6
9.Nh4 Re8 10.Re1 Bg4 11.Bf3 Qd7 12.Bxg4 Qxg4 13.Qxg4 Nxg4 14.Nf5 Bf8 15.d6
Bxd6 16.Ne4 Re6 17.a3 Nf6 18.h3 Rd8 19.b3 Nbd7 20.Be3 Bf8 21.Nxf6+ Nxf6
22.f3 [ 22.c4? Rxd3] ½-½

After that, I reopened the game, right clicked on 22.f3, chose "insert
variation" and CB jumped back to 21...Nxf6. Then I entered 22.c4 Rxd3

I have the same problem with CB Lite - does this also happen with the full
version? It is annoying that you can't enter possible continuations as
variations.

Does hitting "t" and re-entering the last move of the game work for this, I
wonder? (I'm now running CB8 in which this does work - clearly the last move of
the game is at the start of the variation)...

That is an excellent solution. It doesn't quite work perfectly (fxg6 is
reproduced at the start of the variation) but so what?

very good
